Romantic or erotic fantasy for women, in which the protagonist has a child without having to share her with a father, has a husband without needing to engage in any physical contact (and without needing to feel guilty about cheating or leaving), and has a lover without needing to speak (she gives way to his desire: after all, in fantasy it is mainly the others who speak). Still, a little clunky and awkward, and the likeable Neill was perhaps miscast. Nice cinematography and great score by Nyman.

Sam Neill, Keitel and Hunter just act their nineteenth century socks off. Mix that with stunning cinematography/choice of scenery and Michael Nyman's unforgettable theme (which should be THE must-have-note #1 for every piano padawan) and you have a good film. I was a bit confused at the end, felt it hid too much information, making it quite hard to grasp. Still, I loved the way Campion let the characters develop mainly through acting, almost 'embodied' in the main character, the mute. Brilliant.

Shockingly incomplete story or possibly told extremely poorly. A few excellent performances, but Holly Hunter was uncharacteristically vacant and not very expressive as a mute. A story that is mostly uninteresting with not much to say. The husband (Neill) was especially unconvincing being both too understanding and too rash. Harvey Keitel's character was mostly without morals but still held up as being genuine. So much opportunity to make something great, but instead it is mostly not.

The Piano looks wonderful, with expressive colors, sharp contrasts and amazing deep-field shots. And the story starts out interesting enough, so much so that I thought little could ruin this film. Boy, was I wrong; the story devolving into pure nonsense did exactly that. Why exactly does Ada fall in love with a guy who sexually assaults her? And why do these lovebirds have no visible chemistry whatsoever? Are we supposed to be happy now that they're together? Incredible potential, sadly wasted.

After watching Hunter's performance I'm almost convinced that Hollywood needs to see a return to silent films. Hunter's mute character is able to express a level of raw emotion and power that is unrivalled in modern cinema with a subtelty that is nearly impossible to achieve through conventional dialouge. If nothing else, watch The Piano for one of the most beautiful, deep, and emotional performances ever captured onto film.

A beautiful film about love, passion, and desire told through the eyes of Ada, a young mute Scotwoman (a ferocious, yearning, captivating turn by Hunter) married away to New Zealand, along with her beloved piano. Jane Campion stakes her claim as one the great directors while Nyman not only gives us one of the most beautiful scores of all-time, but enables us to, through the music, enter into Ada's repressed, silent passion filled world. Certainly one of the best films of the 1990's.

Writer-director Jane Campion tries admirably to elevate a '50's melodrama plot via visuals that are comparable to David Lean's Ryan's Daughter. But the artistry (and Anna Paquin's great performance) isn't enough to make a cool picture. The romance is a dud. The indigenous subplot is dated. The symbolism ham-fisted. And multiple parts are so over-the-top they feel like dream sequences. Avoid. Instead watch Terrence Malick's The New World, which has similar themes, but will knock you on your ass.

period dramas that are only period dramas are never good. this one, in its desperate attempt to be a musical and poetic ode to true love is in fact juvenile and moronic, not to mention the film's example of true love is an adoring embrace of the ideals of docility and domesticity in women. not a better love story than twilight.

While it's worse for engaging in the many cliches of the stale period romances of the '80s and '90s, the power of the film stems from the strength of its feminine perspective and its central metaphors: the piano as Ada's voice, the decimation and "taming" of the jungle as puritanical and patriarchal suppression, etc. It's a knotted framework of meaning let down by an underdeveloped love story between Baines and Ada. Formally, it has aged poorly, but its point-of-view is far ahead of its time.

Beautifully shot and decently acted at times - but man, this felt awfully dated as far as period pieces go (no pun intended). Romanticizing rape is distractingly unsettling. The whole thing is so self-serious that all the emotions play as melodrama. Not my cup of tea. Also - the score would be SO much better without the strings underneath. Makes the whole experience feel more conventional than it should.

Subdued, slow-moving but ultimately captivating, "The Piano" is filmed with great skill and artistry and populated with memorable performances (Hunter probably being the standout). This is, however, first and foremost, Campion's triumph: her masterful helming gives the film its beauty and its elegance, while her ambiguous script solidifies its thematic intrigue.

Looking at the love triangle at a distance reveals how unoriginal it is -- woman travels to exotic location to meet English settler husband, but instead falls for local -- it's Pocahontas for the art-house crowd. A reasonable portion of the finer details of this story aren't so unoriginal and add an intriguing element, yet also maybe unsatisfying (why won't she talk? What's so significant about the piano?). Mostly good performances all round and lush cinematography certainly don't do harm.

Considering this has a reputation for being a dour, arty Serious Movie I was surprised at how much of the script is peppered with attempts at levity. It's never funny, but it's certainly not the misery porn it could have been (though it does veer awkwardly in that direction towards the end, to its detriment. You know the scene I'm talking about.) Not everything works, but it's very beautiful, and the music's amazing.

A film packed with striking contrasts, from the obvious visual ones like the outward appearance of two prim European women dumped in the rugged and savage environment of rural New Zealand, to the auditory one of a mute woman whose feelings are expressed through her passionate piano playing and her loquacious young daughter, to those of gender inequality in the 1800s. Campion's subtly beautiful film has a little bit of everything a period drama wants - hence its high but not-quite-perfect score.

Extremely profound, poetic, Campion's masterpiece is simply a beautiful tragedy of woman's emancipation, the people who understood, and tried to help Ada.

Absolutely insufferable. Holly Hunter's character, as written (if you'll pardon the expression), is probably unplayable, but all one comes away with is angry, irrational behavior. So much effort went into the period set design and costumes that it was all the more baffling that when she plays her piano, what comes out is contemporary new-age shit. At least the flick looked good...perhaps it could be enjoyable if one plugs ones ears and pays no attention to the action.

At the beginning, we start the countdown till Harvey Keitel is naked and/or domestically violent, but 50% plot twist...he's only one of these things. Tiny Sookie Stackhouse shows up and you suddenly want to punch her. Merlin's event horizon eyes bore into your soul with primordial wrath and Holly Hunter stars as virtuoso Hester Prynn. Moody Oceania mists abound. There is nothing not to love here. 3 subjective enjoyment stars off for how much Tiny Sookie gives me an ulcer of rage.

Hardly any films are made out of the male-centric world. A she that is not a mother, not a lover nor even a "Woman". Transitions between the roles given or we willingly take up are so naturally exposed through Ada. A well deserved chapeau to the director and to Holly Hunter. Although being mute, Ada speaks to us in every scene. The film also salutes to the story of The Awakening by Kate Chopin yet reminds not every string attached means eternal captivity.

This movie was a bit of a struggle for me. The historical New Zealand setting was fascinating, and the performances were mostly strong across the board (although giving the Oscar to Anna Paquin is a little ridiculous). But between the often unlikable characters and the really messed up entanglement of abuse, sexuality and romance, I was always kept at a remove.

Breathtaking cinematography, a haunting atmosphere, and absolutely fascinating characters. On that latter point, I don't think I've seen a movie with more original, well-drawn characters. Hunter's Ada is one that would aptly fit in along side the characters of the great works of classic literature. There's a moment in the second half when something horrible happens to her. Her immediate reaction to this event was one of the most real, human, chilling moments of acting I've ever seen.

"The Piano" is an expertly crafted work of art that showcases Jane Campion's masterful work as a director. The film's sound work, cinematography, score, and costume design are all top-notch, and Holly Hunter delivers an Oscar-winning performance as Ada. While the film's romance plotline can make it difficult to know how to react to it through a modern lens, "The Piano" remains a critical and commercial success that has become a milestone in female filmmaking.

Jane Campions The Piano is undeniably beautiful. The score fits the film perfectly and Hunters face is so subtly expressive.

Well made and somewhat haunting but a bit slow. Beautifully shot with an interesting atmosphere and solid performances and score. It feels a bit muddled throughout--it feels like it's missing a little something, though I can't really put my finger on what. It's art housey a times, but in a fairly accessible way. Good stuff. It's kind of unique, but I didn't get much out of the romance aspects.

Why does mainstream cinema feels 10 times more exploitative than exploitatation to me? I can't with the fucking child and dog and the heavy-handed social commentary that's supposed to bring me to tears.

Seen: 2. Sometimes bizarre, sometimes conservative. A strange experience, not without its quiet charms and memorable moments.

Very weird and dark, but yet interesting story that makes you somewhat intrigued. I agree on Oscar-winning performances from the two lead actresses. *Good

A portrayal of great love and great will, The Piano manages to capture a shot of the female perspective. Ada embodys how one can make beautiful things and still be mistrusted.

In playing Ada, Holly Hunter gives us a masterpiece. With her immense complexities, Ada is one of the most fascinating and heartbreaking characters in recent memory. Pair this with the jaw-dropping beauty of The Piano, and you have one of the best films of the 90s. A pleasure to see, hear, and experience.
